PINK GRAPEFRUIT SORBET

Living in a citrus-growing area I've found out how much these fruits change once they're off the tree. Use the freshest fruit you can get your hands on. If you're fortunate enough to have a tree or know someone who does, pick the grapefruits when you're ready to squeeze the juice and make the sorbet. You'll have a great treat.

Time 3h20m

Yield about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/3 cups water
1 1/3 cups sugar
2 1/2 cups strained fresh pink grapefruit juice
1 to 2 teaspoons grenadine
4 to 6 tablespoons strained fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Pernod

Steps:

  • Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer over a medium flame. Stir until all the sugar is dissolved. Allow the syrup to cool, then chill it for at least 1 hour.
  • Combine the syrup with the grapefruit juice, 1 teaspoon of grenadine, 4 tablespoons of lemon juice, and the Pernod. Taste. Now add more lemon juice if needed?this will depend on the acidity of all the fruit. Remember, this sorbet should not be too sweet. Add more grenadine if you want it to be pinker.
  • Chill the mixture for 2 hours, then freeze it in an ice cream maker, according to manufacturer's instructions.

Time 1h35m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 large pink or red grapefruit, scrubbed
1 cup white sugar
¼ cup light corn syrup
4 cups water
1 dash red food coloring

Steps:

  • Use a vegetable peeler or large zester to remove 3 long strips of peel (just the zest, not the pith) from the grapefruits. Set aside. Squeeze out 2 cups of grapefruit juice.
  • In a saucepan, combine the grapefruit peel, sugar, corn syrup and water. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar, and cook for about 2 minutes. Set aside to cool. Place in the refrigerator, or set in a bowl of ice for faster chilling. Discard the peel.
  • Strain the grapefruit juice through a sieve or strainer to remove the pulp. Discard pulp. Stir the sugar syrup into the grapefruit juice, and mix in food coloring one drop at a time to achieve a pleasing, believable pink. (In other words, don't overdo it.)
  • Pour into the container of an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a container and freeze until firm before serving.

I adapted this from a recipe I got off of the Cuisinart web site; this is a little more tart, with a little less sugar than originally called for.
